Micky,

Sounds like you had a good Night or Morning whatever it was and fair play to you for heading out straight after work. Your effort was repaid. Did you get a picture of the diamond shaped fish?

Hi Micky,

decent session on the pier - It has served me well over the years too.

You might find this site a help for ID-ing the fish http://web.ukonline.co.uk/aquarium/index.html

I would hazard a guess at a John Dory (At least one of these was cuaght up there last year.

Check it out and let us know...
